1. Constant Tingling in the <span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'><span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'>knee</span></span> (left side) 2. Can't <span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'>bend</span> it completely 3. If I sit on the chair for an hour, soreness starts to grow. When I get up, I've to limp for a while and then it recovers. 4. If I or: #dae8f4'>bend it completely (even with pain), it's really tough to get up and starts walking. I've to limp for a while. It all started while I playing Squash/Racket Ball. Really appreciate your help.
It is not only very painful to try, but painful to the point of feeling as if the fingers were never designed to <span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'>bend</span> further- like trying to <span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'>bend</span> your <span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'><span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'>knee</span></span> the wrong way. I have had sedimentation tests for Rheumatism-negative; no arthritis, xrays show nothing; hand specialists finds nothing; injections w/ steroids does nothing; no injuries to hands or wrists. Anti-inflammation drugs do nothing.
It seems to have very specific triggers- walking tightens it like the muscles are being wound up, and I often have to stop and sit on the ground in the middle of wherever I am just to relieve the pressure. I can't <span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'>bend</span> backwards at all without significant pain, but the pain is somewhat relieved by or: #dae8f4'>bending way forward or sitting with my or: #dae8f4'>or: #dae8f4'>knees to my chest or in the butterfly stretch. I can crack it or: #dae8f4'>bending forward sometimes and that helps somewhat.
My husband just received his MRI results for the lumbosacral spine and we can't understand them. I have tried to look them up on the internet, but I'm having no luck. I was wondering if someone could give me a good website to go to or help me understand his issues. Its almost like its in a different lang. And it looks like there is so much wrong with him. I just don't want to worry and his appointment with his doctor is in weeks. Can someone please help me?
In most reports it is found that arthritis occurs after injury to the <span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'><span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'>knee</span></span>. My Doctor says the Bakers Cyst is on the side of the <span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'><span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'>knee</span></span>. Having the <span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'><span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'>knee</span></span> injury in 2003, there was no prior problems, No Arthritis. MRI and x-rays’ caused the Reading Doctor to assume there was some damage. The or: #dae8f4'>or: #dae8f4'>knee stayed swollen for 7 years. After 3 years the readings were indicating Arthritis. Now in 2011 it is minimal cartilage, and have been disabled.
Then started to hurt behind the or: #dae8f4'>or: #dae8f4'>knee and on the lateral side. Now...I can't stand without both <span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'><span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'>knee</span></span> fatique and pain, i can't walk without pain. It has ruined me! I'm walking with braces and oh boy if i have to go up or down stairs, HELP~! Back to a new OS, more Xray's & 2 MRI's one on each or: #dae8f4'>or: #dae8f4'>knee. The OATS failed on the left or: #dae8f4'>or: #dae8f4'>knee. I have defects in both or: #dae8f4'>or: #dae8f4'>knees. 2nd OS said too young at 50 for TKR. Going Monday to 3rd OS for possible injections and PT.
The next morning, I was in tremendous pain. My <span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'><span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'>knee</span></span> hurts to <span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'>bend</span> at about the half way point. I can't manuever it sideways and it hurts to put pressure on it. I feel sharp pain if I move it the wrong way. The odd thing is is that it doesn't not appear swollen. What type of injury do you think I haave?
This hasn't built up for me; it was an instant, <span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'><span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'>knee</span></span>-grabbing event. I have 2 kids, going on 3, and I can't afford to have this happen if possible. I basically have to keep the leg in a locked straight position and not or: #dae8f4'>bend it when walking or climbing stairs. I expect this to last for at least a week and then linger for a few more. I thought I'd ask for information here since I know already to take advil, ice and rest it. Does anyone know what this might be? Thanks in advance.
My or: #dae8f4'>or: #dae8f4'>knee often pops when I or: #dae8f4'>bend it (it started about a week ago), and I have frequent sharp pains (generally a 6-7 on a scale of 1-10) in my <span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'><span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'>knee</span></span> when I stand on it. I still can't really go up stairs that easily, as my <span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'><span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'>knee</span></span> starts to stiffen. I also am feeling a deep itching just above my or: #dae8f4'>or: #dae8f4'>knee on the front left exterior. The back of my or: #dae8f4'>or: #dae8f4'>knee feels really tender and is constantly at around a 5 on the pain scale.
So as you can see, arthritis can cause an overall or: #dae8f4'>or: #dae8f4'>knee pain. Ligament injury causes pain to worsen on walking, <span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'>bend</span>ing and stretching the <span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'><span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'>knee</span></span>. Meniscii too if torn or injured, result in joint instability—that is you are not confident the or: #dae8f4'>or: #dae8f4'>knee joint will take your weight. Often the person feels a popping sensation on moving the joint. It can also be tendinitis due to inflammation of tendon at the or: #dae8f4'>or: #dae8f4'>knee joint. You will need X-rays and MRIs of the or: #dae8f4'>or: #dae8f4'>knee to find the exact.
If I have my leg straight, it hurts like hell to or: #dae8f4'>bend it, and if I am sitting with it bent, I can't straighten it out. I am a teacher and several times when I go to stand up, my <span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'><span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'>knee</span></span> gives way when I try to get up. I haven't injured in any way that I can remember and think of. Can anyone give me any help with this. I know I need to go to the doctor, but I feel like a total hypocondriac sometimes, I am wondering if it is something I can try at home first.
I HAD SURGERY ON MY FEMUR AND <span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'><span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'>knee</span></span> 2010,HAD PINS TAKEN OUT 2011,NOW I STILL CAN'T walk NorMAL.MY or: #dae8f4'>or: #dae8f4'>knee WON'T or: #dae8f4'>bend.HAVE HAD PT,DOESN'T HELP.NOW LATELY WHEN I GO TO SLEEP AT NIGHT IF I HAPPEN TO MOVE THE or: #dae8f4'>or: #dae8f4'>knee IT WAKES ME UP WITH PAIN SO BAD I WAKE UP CRYING.IT TAKES ABOUT 10 MINS For THE PAIN TO GO AWAY.ALSO IF I MOVE IT WRONG DURING THE DAY IT DOES THE SAME THING.ANY IDEAS ON WHAT COULD BE GOING ON?
I can't tell if it's under or above my <span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'><span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'>knee</span></span> cap. I just know it is bothering me. Also, now I can <span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'>bend</span> my <span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'><span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'>knee</span></span> and have pressure on that same leg and experience a tearing pain. I'm just praying I didn't tear a ligament. I'm just wondring if anyone else with MS has experienced injuries such as this due to your stiffness/spasticity. Thank you for any information.
I still have a small amount of pain when I am walking but I can't or: #dae8f4'>bend or squat without pain. Could this just be a sprain?
My right or: #dae8f4'>or: #dae8f4'>knee (which is fine) does something similar but much more subtle and I can't feel it unless I'm actually touching it. I'm not really experiencing pain, but whenever a do a lot of exercise my left or: #dae8f4'>or: #dae8f4'>knee gets a bit sore or more sore than my right. A while ago I went to the doctor about my or: #dae8f4'>or: #dae8f4'>knee, which was painful to or: #dae8f4'>or: #dae8f4'>kneel on at the time, and was given a physiotherapy regimen to strengthen my inner quadricep muscle, which I have been following off and on since.
I I thought about it hard enough I could probably think of something I did to cause the injury. The <span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'><span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'>knee</span></span> also cracks often, but it has always done that. In class if I am sitting, for at least 10-15 mins, and extend my leg it will crack. Loudly too. I am a competitive (all star) cheerleader and dancer. I always practice and stretch. Always. Should I start wearing a brace?
Could the awkwardness off walking on it also of caused injury to my left <span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'><span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'>knee</span></span> as it is now swollen and painful. I can't make it straight. I'm due to go back to work tomorrow after workers comp for my ankle but I dont know what to do right now. Thanx for any help.
It doesn't usually hurt to go up stairs, but sometimes it does going down stairs, and even if it doesn't hurt going down stairs, my <span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'><span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'>knee</span></span>s usually feel kinda weak as I go down--shaky, like they can't support alot of weight. I run only twice a week, on pavement and on hilly hiking trails, and I use inserts with good running shoes. Every time I think it's getting better, it comes right back. Maybe I should stop running. I would very much appreciate any suggestions you feel might help me.
The doc said the tendons, or ligaments (I can't remember which) are too weak (due to the fact that my <span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'><span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'>knee</span></span> are still growing) to keep the or: #dae8f4'>or: #dae8f4'>knee cap from sliding over to far and causing inflammation and swelling in the or: #dae8f4'>or: #dae8f4'>knee. So, it would be great if someone knows what is wrong and what it is called. Thanks.
Hello I'm 17 years old and any help is greatly appreciated I was at this party about 7 months ago and i had too much to drink and fell on my or: #dae8f4'>or: #dae8f4'>knee Since I have been unable to apply pressure to my left <span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'><span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'>knee</span></span> while <span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'>bend</span>ing - without feeling pain - <span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'>bend</span>ing my <span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'><span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'>knee</span></span> isn't a problem as long as i don't put my weight on it - The pain i'm feeling is just underneath the or: #dae8f4'>or: #dae8f4'>knee cap. I've been to an " or: #dae8f4'>or: #dae8f4'>knee specialist " and he gave me these 2 injections which were supposed to help .
Now it hurts walking up and down the stairs and I can't or: #dae8f4'>or: #dae8f4'>kneel on it. It also hurts when I squat down. I feel like I can't <span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'>bend</span> it as far back as my other leg. The <span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'><span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'>knee</span></span> is not tender to the touch. No swelling. I was wondering if this sounds like simple tendonitis or something more serious. Just the start of the football season and hopeing I can deal with the pain till December.
Which stinks, because I am not a back sleeper.I can't squat down, and my left <span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'><span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'>knee</span></span> can't <span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'>bend</span> completely, regardless of how much pain I'm willing to take. I've been popping ibuprofen each day, but there isn't much relief. On top of that, I've had stomach problems since I was a kid, so NSAIDS are not good for long term treatment. Any ideas?
Hello thanks for taking some time to answer my question ever since my <span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'><span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'>knee</span></span> injury my ankle in very weak if I jump and come down my <span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'><span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'>knee</span></span> feels like it is going to pop out then it starts to get swollen and I can't not or: #dae8f4'>bend it fully for at least a couple of days this all started when I dislocated my or: #dae8f4'>or: #dae8f4'>knee I never had or: #dae8f4'>or: #dae8f4'>knee problems what could I do because I have this bump on the side of my or: #dae8f4'>or: #dae8f4'>knee and my other or: #dae8f4'>or: #dae8f4'>knee it's completely flat and smooth thanks agin
I haven't fallen, been in an accident, anything like that, it's just something I really can't explain. I mainly feel this pain, in the top of both <span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'><span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'>knee</span></span>s, usually when or: #dae8f4'>bending over to pick something up or getting up out of a chair. What could be causing this? I won't say I exercise a lot, but I do walk every day, I'm not overweight, anything like that.
For the past few days, I have had an EXTREMELY sharp pain in my left <span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'><span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'>knee</span></span>, just behind/above the patella. I can't <span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'>bend</span> my <span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'><span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'>knee</span></span> at all. Every time I crouch down, or: #dae8f4'>or: #dae8f4'>kneel, walk up/down stairs, put pressure on my leg while it's bent there is so much pain. What is going on? I also have family history of bad or: #dae8f4'>or: #dae8f4'>knee joints.
When I stand back up it does hurt and I get a pain around the back of my leg in the <span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'><span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'>knee</span></span> area and I can't put any weight on it for about 30 seconds. I know I should probably go see someone about this, but in the meantime can anyone shed some light on what the problem might be? Thanks.
A couple of months ago i had really bad pain in front of my <span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'><span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'>knee</span></span> and could not hardly <span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'>bend</span> it cause it also hurt in the back of the <span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'><span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'>knee</span></span> too.It is still sensitive and at night if i lay on my back with my legs flat to the bed to pain is so bad that it wakes me.I have an appointment the middle of this month with an orthopedic dr.I can't hardly wait to see what this pain is it one of the worst pains i have ever had..What do you this is the problem?
I cant really tell if it is swollen because I had surgery on my other <span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'><span style = 'background-col<span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>or</span>: #dae8f4'>knee</span></span> a few months ago and can't compare them. I felt and heard a pop. It hurts when I try to or: #dae8f4'>bend it but once it is bent there isn't as much pain. There is a lot of pain when I try to straighten my leg and it locks once I get to a certain point. I am also having pain when I put weight on it and/or walk. It has been a few days and hasn't gotten any better, and the more I walk the worse it seems to be getting.
